UK APPG on Beauty calls for VAT cut on sunscreen in 'Preventable Crisis' report

The UK's All-Party Parliamentary Group on Beauty, Hair and Wellbeing published its UV Safety Inquiry report on May 13, recommending zero VAT on children's SPF 30+ and a reduced 5% rate on adult sunscreen (down from 20%). The report cites 17,500 annual UK melanoma cases and £750M in NHS skin-cancer costs, and proposes Australia's 'Slip, Slop, Slap' as the model.
